Libertyville — Twenty-four Libertyville High School students were arrested over the weekend for participating in a beer bash along the banks of the Des Plaines River. The students were charged with possessing alcohol as minors, a local ordinance violation, police said. Six students ages 17 and 18 were released on recognizance bonds, while 18 juveniles were released to their parents. The teenagers might have gotten away with it had they not parked their cars, more than a dozen of them, at the end of Oak Trail Drive, police said. A resident called police to investigate. Police found 32 teenagers gathered around a bonfire, most of them drinking beer. Ten teens said they weren't drinking, and eight of those were released after passing breathalyzer tests. The other two failed and were arrested.
